Since 1977, the Friends of the Leon Valley Public Library, a 501 (c) 3 tax-exempt organization, has been the support organization for the Leon Valley Public Library.
Combining the interests of both residents and business, the Friends have ensured that the Library has the extra resources that it needs to continue to be the “heart” of the city. The Friends have raised money and provided volunteers for projects, furnishings, supplies, matching grants, and programs for every age group.
The April Book Sale will be held at the Library Annex at 6500 Evers Road on Saturday, April 5th, from 9:30am to noon. All proceeds support programs at the Leon Valley Public Library.
Congratulations to all the Friends members. We have been named a 2013 Small Community Advocate of the Year by the Small Community Libraries Round Table Texas Library Association! This award is for our dedication to our library and community and is 1 of only 2 Friends organizations named in Texas. Good Work!
